Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Butter three 6-cup muffin pans.
In bowl stir yeast into warm water until dissolved.
Stir in next 5 ingredients until combined. (Mixture will be lumpy.)
Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time, until soft dough forms.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8 minutes.

Roll each dough piece into round ball. Place 3 balls in each muffin cup. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 minutes.

Remove from pans; serve or cool completely on rack.
